With broccoli, I like to steam covered until a poke into a stem with toothpick feels about right, and then finish cooking uncovered to let the remaining liquid evaporate.

Thank you. I like it saucy sometimes other times I cook uncovered to evap. I do most of my veggies in the microwave coved for a couple minutes with NO water added. The moisture from the veggies is enough to steam them. Corn and asparagus taste amazing when micro steamed.
